When being productive ISN'T

When being "productive" ISN'T productive - produces activity but no heart purpose.

Starting a new week can begin with a long list of "things to do" - a list of duties, of obligations as well as things of pleasure and recreation.  Sometimes this list can include activities that are not so necessary but come from "should"  or from "must". 

See where THOSE items stem from and and check them out.  Let go (kindly, gently, with care) of those things or reframe them in a healthier way.  

Some items on the list aren't mine to do, some are not pressing but are busy, and some are there out of ego or fear.  How can I add space to my day? I check my list and start anew.

"We are born with all the wisdom, playfulness, and imagination we need; we just sometimes need a reminder to return to our senses and get out of our own way. Let go of whatever fears, assumptions, distractions, resistance, and busyness may be hampering you. Allow yourself to think and feel and live that way". - Marc Lesser "Do Less Accomplish More"
